SIMPLE GREENS AND FRUIT SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA CHEESE

Simple Greens and Fruit Salad With Gorgonzola Cheese image

This is a favorite salad in our house. I change it around to match the fruits of the season. Some of our favorites are: canned mandarin oranges, diced apples, diced pears, fresh berries, or even Craisins. I love the fact I always have something in the fridge to top the salad. My husband doesn't like blue cheese, but the Gorgonzola isn't as strong to him. I use Paul Newman's light dressing, but use one you like!
